Erich Knox- Dan
works hard to get everyone an opportunity for big bear....which are
plentiful. The food is plentiful as well: the camp is spacious and
functional with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Great experience.

Brad Cullivan— "Dan is the best that there is. We had a great time, enjoyed great company, and best of all, my son harvested his first Maine Black Bear, on his 10th birthday !! It was a bruin, weighing in at 308 lbs ! Dan helped in every way possible. If not for Dan and Molly (one of his many awesome hounds) we would have never recovered this bear. Thank you Dan and Ashley for a great time and unforgettable memories !! Top notch !"

Some
would ask if this hunt was worth the 3200 mile drive. In a word, yes.
Dan thank you and your wonderful support staff for all of your hard
work. In Kentucky tonight there are two tired but very happy old farts.
Because of you we were able to take a bear by the second most pure form
of hunting. Thank you for sharing the incredible sun rises, the grouse,
the moose, even the one that got a bit to
close for comfort. Thank you for the wild truck rides. And the dogs,
God bless 'em all. They work their hearts out for us and were worth the
drive up there just to see them work. You guys have a hard life and I
wish I were half as tough as you were. God willing, Ed and I will return
to hunt again with you. Tom Black Kentucky

Dan, I just wanted to take the time to say thank you again!!! You obviously
turned a 25 yr. bait hunter into a hound hunter and that's saying
something!!! You are a straight up no bull guide and I knew it from the
get go and I think you figured me out pretty quickly too. Like I said to
you in the truck on Sat. night this was hands down my best bear hunt
ever!!!! And I've been on lots of them in U.S. and Canada. You and your
team of guides have gained my respect and I respect you personally for
listening to my advice to make your operation run more smoothly!!! I
cannot wait till next year good luck the rest of the season and keep in
touch!!!!

Rick GoodwinThank
You! I AM 100% sure that Mr. White Blaze would not have been bagged
without the skill of you and your team. Hurry up next year!!!!!

"To Whom It May Concern,

The following is a brief personal recommendation in favor of Registered Maine Guide, Dan Wagner of Allagash, ME.

I was fortunate enough to draw a Bull Moose Permit for the October hunt in Maine this year. Never having hunted for moose, I began looking for a guide who had both experience with moose and knowledge of this area in Maine, I hired Dan to help me out.

The hunt became successful on day #4 of the hunt. I took a 750 lb Bull (dressed), with 20 points and a spread of 48-1/2”. I shot the moose at 5:55PM and we had it in his truck at 10:00PM.

Here are some random thoughts about what Dan, personally, brings to the table:

* He is a true “Woodsman”, knows his craft and simply loves the outdoors

* He is an intelligent, personable and excellent Guide overall

* He provided a physically demanding hunt – 12+ hours per day in the woods (not for the feign of heart)

* You will get up at 4:15AM and eat dinner at 8:00PM – your entire day will be spent in the woods hunting

* You will go home tired, but in all probability with your moose

* He will measure up your hunting skills and physical capabilities and provide a hunt to suit

* He is as strong as an ox; will get your moose out of the woods

* Extremely hard worker in your behalf

* The hunt is as exciting for him as for you

* He is very knowledgeable in the “North” country of Maine – Zones 1, 2, 3, 4, etc (Dan is a fur trapper throughout these Zones)

* Personally, I would recommend a “one-on-one” hunt with Dan, ie No Sub-Permittee (I believe you will get the most out of your hunt).

This was truly a “Hunt of a Lifetime” for me, and I give Dan all the credit for making it both successful and memorable.

I
met Dan Wagner and Mark at an outdoor show. After talking with them I
booked a hunt because mostly they seemed like good, honest hard working
regular people. I had a great week in camp. Dan did what he promised,
worked hard to get me on some bears and he was a pleasure to hang with.
BTW, I'm paralyzed and live life in a wheelchair. Didn't phase Dan any.
He treated me like any other hunter and made
sure his accommodations fit my needs. Dan is the real deal. I'll hunt
with him again. My only criticism is with Ashley. She is way too good a
cook and prepares way too much food. I'm a weak person and can't resist
her home made bread, apple crisp, Angel food cake, strawberries and on
and on. I've NEVER eaten this well in my life! (I only say that because
my wife won't ever see this). If you want to have a good hunt, good eats
and good friendly talk, give Maine Trophy Outfitters a try.
